Tigo?s subscriber base shot up from 3,933,195 to 4,014,487, representing 14.51 percent of Ghana?s mobile voice market share.
A mobile voice market share report for November 2013 released by the National Communications Authority (NCA) added that the impressive performance follows modest gains that Tigo has been making since April 2013.
It comes against the backdrop of losses suffered by some competitors within the industry.
Tigo and Vodafone were the only operators in the market that increased their subscriber base during the period under consideration.
Mobile voice telephony has grown from 27,591,722 subscribers recorded in October to 27,665,572 as at the end of November 2013, representing an increase of around 0.3 percent.
Ghana currently has a mobile penetration rate of around 106.0 percent, representing one of the highest in the world.
Tigo?s recent gains are seen as a direct translation of the vigorous improvement in the service delivery standards by the network operator, as well as the rolling out of various services onto the market.
Commenting on Tigo?s performance, Adil El Youssefi, General Manager said, ?Tigo is happy to see its efforts yield positive results.?
He added even though the Ghanaian telecom market had become very competitive, Tigo believes this feat is just the beginning of greater results to come mainly because of the great initiatives, which are being put in place.
He further stated: ?We have, in the past couple of months, focused our attention on strengthening the fundamentals of our business operations by investing in the things that our consumers care about i.e. introducing talk and internet packages that speak to the consumers? needs, engaging in CSR activities that have meaningful impact in the lives of Ghanaians and making significant investments into our network infrastructure.?
